So the 3x means three times then u multiply by three
The congruent statement and the reason why the triangles are congruent is (b) ΔUVZ ≅ ΔVYX, SSS
<h3>How to determine the congruent statement and the reason?</h3>
From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:
Triangles = UVZ and VYX
There are several theorems that make any two triangles to be congruent
One of these theorems is the SSS congruent theorem
The SSS congruent theorem implies that the corresponding sides of the triangles in question are congruent
From the question, we can see that the following corresponding sides on the triangles UVZ and VYX have the same mark
UV and VY
UZ and VX
VZ and YX
This implies that these sides are congruent sides
Hence, the congruent statement on the congruency of the triangles is (b) ΔUVZ ≅ ΔVYX and the reason is by SSS

#SPJ1
the height of the house is 
.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Here we have , To estimate the height of a house Katie stood a certain distance from the house and determined that the angle of elevation to the top of the house was 32 degrees. Katie then moved 200 feet closer to the house along a level street and determined the angle of elevation was 42 degrees. We need to find What is the height of the house . Let's find out:
Let y is the unknown height of the house, and x is the unknown number of feet she is standing from the house.
Distance of house from point A( initial point ) = x ft
Distance of house from point B( when she traveled 200 ft towards street = x-200 ft
Now , According to question these scenarios are of right angle triangle as
At point A
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
..................(1)
Also , At point B
⇒ 
⇒ 
..............(2)
Equating both equations:
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
Putting in we get:
⇒
⇒ 
⇒ 
Therefore , the height of the house is .
Answer:
m<PTR = 140°
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the value of x. To find the value of x, derive an equation which you'd use in solving for x.
m<PTQ = (x + 28)°
m<RTS = (2x + 16)°
m<PTQ = m<RTS (vertical opposite angles are congruent)
Therefore:
x + 28 = 2x + 16
Solve for x. Combine like terms
28 - 16 = 2x - x
12 = x
x = 12
Find m<PTQ
m<PTQ = (x + 28)
plug in the value of x
m<PTQ = 12 + 28 = 40°
m<PTR + m<PTQ = 180° (supplementary angles)
m<PTR + 40° = 180° (substitution)
m<PTR = 180 - 40 (subtracting 40 from each side)
m<PTR = 140°
